The wiretapping "violates the Separation of Powers doctrine, the Administrative Procedures Act, the First and Fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Title III (of the Constitution)," according to Taylor's injunction.
(g) (paraphrased from an older comment of mine...) In the three major American sports (basketball, baseball, and football), it’s possible to go from being behind (in the score) to being ahead in one single play (home run with men on base, field-goal or touchdown, or even a simple 2-point basket). That kind of emotional swing, from losing to winning or winning to losing, is unavailable in soccer and hockey (though hockey has fighting to keep me entertained).
If soccer could conceive of some way to earn two points on a single goal (a larger box outside the current penalty box?) to earn that emotional swing, perhaps there would be more interest.
I am the father of an 11 year old. He doesn't play his Playstation 2 on weekdays, and even when he does play, it's only sports games (football is our favorite). No TV until the weekends, and definitely no TV in his room.
How do kids have all this free time? He's either at practice (soccer, baseball, basketball - whatever is in season) or outside in our backyard playing with the neighborhood kids (or me).
These parents who complain about TV or videogames just seem a little lazy to me...
And how much time do *you* spend in front of your computer?
They'll notice that you're allowed to play on the computer more than they are, and for longer stints, and they're going to get resentful.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Huh? Is this how you act as a parent? This is modded insightful?
As a parent, I spend more time on the computer than my kid. I can also drink a beer at dinner, stay up later, watch more TV, and drive. You know what I say to my kid when he complains that I do things he can't? I tell him that (DUH!!!) "There are different rules for kids then there are adults." And I don't just say it - I've been explaining that rule since he could walk and talk. I explain the *reason* for the rule (safety, kid's best interest, etc.) If there's not a good reason for the rule, then there should be no rule.
Per your comment - of *course* they may resent the fact that you (as an adult and parent) get to do things they can't. But as a parent, you'll get much less resentment if you explain why.
My theory as to why soccer hasn’t acheived higher popularity in the US:
In the three major American sports (basketball, baseball, and football), it’s possible to go from being behind (in the score) to being ahead in one single play: think Pujols the other night, Adam Vinatieri frequently, or Kobe burying a three. That kind of emotional swing, from losing to winning or winning to losing, is unavailable in soccer and hockey (though hockey has fighting to keep me entertained).
If soccer could conceive of some way to earn two points on a single goal (a larger box outside the current penalty box?) to earn that emotional swing, perhaps there would be more interest.
I’ve only starting watching soccer because my son plays on two teams - we watch games together. And high-quality play from international teams are most definitely enjoyable. But if the team you’re rooting for is down by two goals with 90 seconds left, the game is over.
I use Yahoo for nearly everything (all family events in Calendar, saved Maps for soccer fields and restaurants, Weather, and Contacts/ToDo), but I switched to Gmail for email as soon as I could.
I am so reliant on Labels - it just makes so much sense that any email can really be in more than one folder. (In fact, since being forced to use Outlook 2003 at work, I've forgone folders and used it’s Category feature which work remarkable similar to Gmail Labels to organize my work email - I can use Outlook's search to organize/search by Category).
If Yahoo Mail were to offer anything like Labels, I’d switch back.
Everyone that I know that uses Netflix are childless. Everyone I know that have one or more children have rented movies at a physical store. You can't ask a five year old to pick a movie to watch, then wait 24 hours (or more) for the movie to arrive in the mail.
For the past three years, I've sent suggestions to The Onion that on April 1st, they should report real news (Reuters and AP stories, etc). I think it'd be great to see their take on what constitutes absurd in the real press. And it'd be damn funny if they could locate real stories that were goofy enough for people to think they were true Onion parodies.
But does anyone ever listen to me? Oh well. Another year, another wasted opportunity...
I was happy to discover that they still have the original hostname hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu available! I remember getting this to compile on an old NeXT box, which hosted our math department's web page before most colleges at our uni had a web page.
I never use Mapquest. I use maps.yahoo.com, and when I login with my yahoo id (started using it for mail, now I just use it for everything but mail because gmail rocks), I am able to name and save specific locations. So now I have all of my son's soccer and basketball game locations available for instant lookup.
When Google Maps gets this feature and allows me to save locations linked to my gmail account, I'll switch over. The new interface in Google Maps is cool, but Yahoo maps (and Mapquest, I suspect) is good enough - especially for simply printout out map and driving directions.
despite being tech savvy, i always have and always will refuse to subscribe to cellular service for various reasons. i know im not alone.
I was the same way for a long time. Actually, I had cell phone in the early 90's. Cool for a while, then just got plain annoying. Ditched it for my work pager in '95.
However... I have a kid now. It got a certain point that not having a cell phone handy was just plain incovenient. And the first time your school calls because he accidentally eats something with peanuts (and triggers a violent allergic reaction), you're happy that your cell phone gets you out of that office meeting.
You really HAVE to read the full decision. This woman must be insane.

I have no doubt that all of this makes perfect sense to Miss Siddiq, but I have to
confess that I have not been able to follow her argument very far at all. In fairness to
Miss Siddiq, she has gone to extreme lengths to provide the Patent Office with as
much information as she can find in connection with her application. (For example,
when the Hearings Clerk asked Miss Siddiq whether or not she would attend a hearing,
her response extended to some
854 pages. [emphasis mine])

Well, if you know that Google is indexing your site and "stealing" your bandwidth, then you must have looked at the server logs, right? You'd see the name of the search bot is googlebot. Search for it, and you'll find that the first relevant link explains how to prevent googlebot from accessing your site.
The logs would probably also show failed attempts to find the file/robots.txt. Similar info is gained from searching on that term as well.
